  1. WAY toooo much politiks in there for my blood.
  2. I totally agree with you. but soon ticking over 85 I have 10 rotaries in my container, and my "give-a-shitter" don't work no more. john
  3. almost bought a new one, but the vast unreliability scared me off. chose a highlander hybrid instead. Equally bad for more of the same reasons that all newer autos are.
  4. trust is a dirty word. when it pertains to anything that you risk your life with. I always loved the tech inspections as they added to my safety.
  5. Yes. most are competent enough to mount tires, but too lazy to use a torque wrench. So farm out the dumb jobs till you find a smart, willing, and honest wrench operator. (and he will not be at the stealership).
  6. Yes but I had to make a periscope in order to drive while hunkered underneath it.
  7. repeat the same process but use different answers to any secondary questions that you are not absolutely sure about. if you get different answers= then ask which are right for you-or use your own "I" to chose. Remembering that AI uses available data, and does not necessarily cull out false info, or invent new solutions like true "I" might. AI is just a tool that for most of the time is faster and more reaching. Beats spending 5 days at the law library.
  8. thanks John. added them to my bookmarks as in today's world we find hydraulic products with odd sizes and the wrong material.
  9. If we the purchaser would refuse to buy anything that did not come with a detailed service manual containing-- assembly and disassembly guide, parts location, a complete parts list, electrical schematic, and calibration procedures, all would be good. but we would not be able to buy anything at all. We live in a throwaway society today. Where the auto makers do not want you to be able to fix anything, Because the maker/seller partners make far more money servicing you than it cost to make the car. to-whit The Front Lower control arms on my 2007 toyota highlander require (according to the toyota factory manual) THE REMOVAL OF THE ENGINE, and of course this is priced accordingly. Now my friends just ask the question of AI as to just WHY is this so. We are driving autos that were poorly designed and made, and being required to carry the burden of making the pp product usable. Yes my car will go 100k miles, but I will be out $100k for "normal"maintenance. we are being hosed
  10. tariffs are a bribe demanded from you in order for what you own to enter the country. we the people instituted them with a small pencil mark on a ballot. not my horse.
  11. as Vovchandr said. so well.
  12. No, AI is just a progression of what we had to do manually in the past. Trouble shooting is- data accumulation, and anilingus. In the 50s we kept equipment history records and used that to match the problem we were dealing with to the problems that had occurred in the past. We used to add, divide and multiply to solve complex math questions. today we can describe our problem and get answers as to what was done in the past to solve the problem. SAME process, just automated ( done by the cooperation of many machines that operate far faster than our "human" brains can. So we are still at the old drawback-(garbage in=garbage out) you just have to be smart enough to ask the right question. AI is definitely artificial but not as yet as intelligent as most of us are. faster than lightning when the path is known, but unable as yet to blaze new trails.
  13. I for one, will remember WHO caused this problem for many years to come.
  14. Have a backhoe and a place picked out under where a horse is buried. john
